Marias Valley Golf & Country Club

Description: Shelby has the finest and most unique eighteen-hole golf course in the State of Montana, offering both the serious and not so serious golfer a most pleasant experience on the links.

Constructed in 1967 along the banks of the Marias River, the course has nine of the largest Bent Grass greens in the state. At 3,151 yards long, the course, with its tree-lines fairways, has water hazards, sand traps, grass bunkers and a challenging 600-yard hole.

Situated on the Marias River Valley, deer, beaver, porcupine, geese, ducks and other wildlife can be found roaming the course in the mornings and evenings. Located beneath the river breaks, the course also enjoys a bit a relief from the occasional prairie winds.

The Country Club offers a full line of services for the golfer, including lessons by a PGA Professional, air conditioned clubhouse with food, drink, club and golf cart rentals. The pro shop, one of the best stocked in the state, offers a full line of clubs, clothes, bags, balls and accessories.

Rates: $13 for 9 holes, $24 for 8 holes
